Dear all: (The entire email refers specifically to KDE on Debian_7.7.0_amd64) I am new to Debian.
I need to be able to install packages offline through the CD/DVD sets. According to page 103 of "debian-handbook.pdf", I need to execute *apt-cdrom add* before *apt-get install [name]* if I want to installpackages through CD/DVD. However, on the "live install" image of debian:*apt-cdrom add* does not work. *apt-cdrom ident* does not work as well.I tried to access /etc/fdtab through *mount /etc/fstab*, again It says fstab not found.I tried to edit /etc/fdtab through *gedit /etc/fstab* to assign the cdrom mount, It says gedit command not found. So my questions are:1. Does *apt-cdrom add*, *apt-cdrom ident*, *mount /etc/fstab*, *gedit /etc/fstab* work on the "live install" image. 2. After a *real* install through complete CD/DVD set, will *apt-cdrom add* and *apt-get install [name]* work straight out of the box? ( see "this program only works if your CD-ROM is properly configured in your system's /etc/fstab." in https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/apt-howto/ch-basico.en.html#s-cdrom ) 3. After a *real* install through complete CD/DVD set, will *mount /etc/fstab* or */etc/fstab* brings out the "file system table"? 4. On a real install of Debian, If I see CD-drive mounted on KDE (an icon representing CD/DVD drive appears), will *apt-cdrom add* and *apt-get install [name]* then work? (i.e. does it mean that "CD-ROM is properly configured in my system's /etc/fstab." ?) 5. Kindly provide me the procedure of "configuring CD-ROM in system's /etc/fstab" Kindly reply ASAP! Regards Quek
